ValleyCare Health System last week opened a new 24-bed, nearly $10 million wing at its ValleyCare Medical Center in Pleasanton.

The new One West Wing opened Jan. 19, with private rooms for medical/surgical patients, officials at the nonprofit health system said late last week.

“State and building inspections took place the first week of January,” Jessica Jordan, vice president of nursing services said in a statement. “ValleyCare is currently at capacity,” she said, so the timing is perfect.

Plans for the new wing were approved last May and construction began last summer. CFO Ken Jensen said ValleyCare invested “nearly” $10 million in the project.

Overall the three-campus system now has 242 licensed inpatient beds, officials told the San Francisco Business Times, including 167 at ValleyCare Medical Center. It also operates the ValleyCare Livermore Campus in Livermore and the ValleyCare Medical Plaza, an outpatient center, medical office building, cancer center and women's health center in Pleasanton.
